Chapter 314 The Crisis of Magic

Wu Feng was in a very bitter mood at this moment, holding the ball and advancing towards the frontcourt.

The morale of the team was unable to stop the Heat's fast break, several Magic players had already thought of giving up in their hearts. Watching each other easily shuttle around them and keep running and hitting their baskets, such psychological pressure can be imagined.

If you want to get the lost points back, the most important thing at the moment is to rekindle the fighting spirit of your teammates. The most important thing to increase morale on the court is to score points. A beautiful score is definitely more realistic than a successful defense.

When teammates are obviously not in shape, they naturally have to shoulder the burden of scoring. I remembered the encouraging look of coach Stan Van Gundy before the game. Although he did not say it, Wu Feng still understood the meaning of his eyes. The ball below is the top priority of the game. As long as you can send the ball beautifully into the basket, there is still something to do in this game. If you fail again, the morale of the army will undoubtedly suffer another setback. It is undoubtedly a dream to win the score back.

LeBron James has always focused on Wu Feng. With his understanding of Wu Feng, Wu Feng must know the importance of the following goal to the Magic. Now the Magic's outside shooter has almost lost the confidence of the shooter. For a shooter, confidence is the most important thing. He is even higher than luck. Luck can accompany you for a while. Only confidence belongs to you. A shooter who lacks confidence will not have the ability and courage to make a final decision at a critical moment of the game.

Although Dwight Howard has been trying to counterattack, his lack of support from outside players, and Chris Bosh's defense that did not dare to relax at all allows him to focus more on the basket and the protection of rebounds, and he has no extra energy to devote to the offense.

More importantly, the Heat have completely cut off the Magic's internal and external communication through rapid round defense conversions. It is difficult to pass the ball outside. The most fierce competition on the basketball court is the penalty area under the rebound. You can gain an advantage if you are good at skill and good health. The cooperation of teammates and mastery of time are indispensable. The quality of the Magic's external pass is not high. After the ball is obtained, it is difficult for Dwight Howard to have a comfortable position. When he constantly adjusts his position and finds opportunities to make a move, the Heat's inside line has already taken precautions against his offense, and the result is a waste of time.

After making up his mind, Wu Feng did not hesitate at all. Looking at LeBron James who was walking a few steps away, Wu Feng was confident in his heart. He had always been deeply afraid of LeBron James' experience, but his speed was obviously not as fast as him. Then the defense was much weaker for Wu Feng, and he could completely break through beautifully.

But things are far from that simple. In a team like the Heat that is both offensive and defensive, except for LeBron James, there will naturally be remedial measures. The Heat's remedial speed is as famous as their offensive speed.

At this time, LeBron James did not dare to slacket off. It is logical that one or two goals could not shake their lead, but only they knew the pain in their hearts. Until now, the team was exhausted.

The rest time of overtime is far from being able to make up for the consumption of the entire game.

Wu Feng dribbled the ball very slowly, but it gave people a very stable feeling. The Heat team members did not make rash steals. With Wu Feng's expression, his chance of carelessness can be imagined. In the hands of an excellent ball-handling expert like Wu Feng, unless he breaks through, there will be any loopholes in his defense, and he may be intercepted by his opponent.

As the two gradually approached, LeBron James squatted down slightly, stretched his arms slightly, and made a secret decision in his heart that he would block this ball no matter what. Even if he couldn't stop it completely, he would have to make up for the time to win the teammates.

He was almost certain that Wu Feng would not choose to pass the ball.

When Wu Feng broke through LeBron James, his keen reaction made him react immediately, but his hands and feet were always one step later.

Wu Feng made a quick stop jump shot, and Mike Miller, who made the defense, was always slowing down, but he couldn't blame him. He never expected LeBron James to be broken through so easily.

Stan Van Gundy finally sat back on his seat. His butt had never touched the seat just now. The moment the ball fell into the basket, he saw the rekindled fighting spirit on the Magic players.

The lost morale will not be recovered in a short while. The Heat's strength makes the Magic a little difficult to deal with. Fortunately, Wu Feng's presence has greatly reduced the pressure on Dwight Howard in the inside. The two singles at critical moments have bitten the score tightly, and the Heat have not allowed them to continue to open the score.

Stan Van Gundy is still quite satisfied with the current situation on the court. Although other players have not scored yet, they have gradually recovered as usual in defense. The Heat's offense has been smooth so far, but it is far less relaxed and comfortable than before.

He is waiting for an opportunity. So far, there has been a vague situation of not continuing. However, after Eric Spoelstra's several substitutions, the problem is not very big, and it has almost no impact on the Heat's offense.

Mike Miller pulled the outside block, LeBron James slipped to the bottom line, adjusted the rhythm, and then took action. The ball drew a wonderful arc in the air, and LeBron James clenched his right fist tightly and looked at the ball spinning in the air.

"Bang", LeBron James's goal was almost certain, but he accidentally missed the iron.

Dwight Howard easily picked the rebound and threw the ball to Wu Feng, and immediately ran to the frontcourt. At this point, Dwight Howard felt very frustrated. He looked at the small players of the Heat, laying under his nose, but he was blocked by Chris Bosh, and the Magic's penalty area was raging at will.

Wu Feng was very fast, and even the Heat players couldn't keep up with him. Even LeBron James was left a few steps away by him. The only thing that threatened him was Mike Miller, who had been left in the midfield, had quickly returned to defense when LeBron James took action.

The current situation is a bit unfavorable for Wu Feng. Mike Miller is eyeing him, and Heat players such as LeBron James are quickly following him. If he is not careful, he will fall into a situation of attacking from the front and back. The Magic teammates are closest to him, and they are several meters behind LeBron James, and they can only rely on themselves.

Wu Feng's figure is getting closer and closer to the Heat's three-point line, and Mike Miller's spirit is also highly concentrated. His long career has taught him one thing, that is, no matter what kind of opponent he faces, he needs to do his best in defense.

Mike Miller's reaction was even better, and he jumped quickly, completely blocking Wu Feng's attack position. He was confident that as long as Wu Feng dared to take action, he would definitely give him a big hat.

Mike Miller's defense is indeed good. He reacted so quickly. It is indeed the quality that a defensive player should possess. However, his defensive action with such a big opening and closing is very unwise in this situation. At this time, the inside line is empty, and the Magic players can rush in and score at any time.

Wu Feng held his body in time. His physical fitness was really outstanding. When his body was about to jump, he stopped the rising body. His center of gravity sank slightly. A cat's waist quickly passed by Mike Miller, his wrist shaking, and the ball hit the board into the basket.

With Wu Feng's 4 points in a row, the Magic finally overtook the score and the team's morale also rebounded.

Eric Spoelstra had no choice but to call a timeout.

Now, the third overtime score is 7:4, and the Magic are still 3 points behind the Heat.

After the timeout, the Heat actually made a 6-2 attack wave under the leadership of Dwyne Wade and Mario Chalmos, which allowed the Heat to regain the lead of 7 points and the Magic's just-ignited fighting spirit and suffered a huge setback. Stan Van Gundy sat on the bench, and the score that had just been pulled closer was suddenly pulled away.

However, there is no gain. The Heat's offense is no longer as sharp as before. The physical strength problem has gradually been exposed, but the advantages at this time are enough to make them earn their old capital.

Since both sides attacked very quickly before, although the score was 13:6, there were 3 minutes and 20 seconds left in the third overtime.

LeBron James' long shot missed, Dwight Howard jumped up and took the rebound hard. At this time, Wu Feng had already passed the midfield. One of his long passes was handed to him. Although Wu Feng's layup missed, it caused LeBron James to foul.

However, what is surprising is that Wu Feng missed both free throws.

Dwyne Wade received a wonderful pass from LeBron James at the top of the arc, and made a three-pointer, causing Vince Carter to foul, successfully scored a four-pointer, and the Magic were still 10 points behind.

Dwyne Wade played two consecutive three plus ones, and this feat surprised the fans on the scene.

With 10 points, there are about three minutes left. For a team like the Heat, which is both offensive and defensive, it is really difficult for the Magic to catch up with the score in such a short time.

Dwight Howard missed the layup and Joel Anthony grabbed the defensive rebound.

Chris Bosh's mid-range shot missed, Dwight Howard grabbed the rebound immediately and handed the ball over to Wu Feng.

The Magic's offense, Vince Carter made a move outside the three-point line, but still missed, and Nazel Mohamed scored a tip-in.

Mike Miller pulled out the outside block, and LeBron James grabbed the gap and made a three-pointer.

The atmosphere of Magic fans instantly dropped to underestimation, and everyone watched the game nervously.

Wu Feng made a three-pointer on the right wing forty-five degrees. LeBron James, who had always been following him, naturally would not let him succeed easily. At the moment Wu Feng took the ball, he slapped Wu Feng's right hand.

Such an obvious foul, the referee will naturally not let go. Wu Feng's free throw is naturally without suspense, and he easily hits three free throws.

With three minutes left in the game, Eric Spoelstra called a timeout to stabilize the morale of the army.

With an 8-point lead, the Heat still has absolute initiative. Blindly fast attacks can certainly put huge pressure on the Magic, but in addition to fast attacks, the chance of mistakes also increases. Two of Wu Feng's three-pointers just now were given by the Heat's mistakes. After the timeout, the Heat sent a starting lineup again. In Eric Spoelstra's concept, offense is the strongest defense. The reason why the Magic just scored a wave of scoring was mainly because the team did not put enough pressure on the opponent in offense, which gave them a chance to breathe.

Mike Miller pulled to the top of the arc again to block the gap. After LeBron James made an easy breakthrough, he immediately transferred the ball to Mike Miller, who turned around and made a jump shot.

With the Magic playing momentum, Mike Miller's mid-range shot was absolutely timely, stabilizing the Heat's loose morale, and the scores of the two teams were further widened to 10 points.

With two minutes and thirty-nine seconds left in the game, Wu Feng made a pass mistake, LeBron James made a long pass, assisting Dwyane Wade to make a layup.

Stan Van Gundy decisively called a timeout. Although several players performed well on the court and worked very hard on the defense, their mentality was too extreme. In terms of the details of passing, they were prone to some unnecessary mistakes. Wu Feng's pass mistake just now was crucial to the impact of the situation.

But after the timeout, looking at the players on the bench, Stan Van Gundy was shaking. With their previous performance, he was worried about letting them play.

Stan Van Gundy called the timeout, and several players of the Magic knew it well, but seeing his swaying eyes, they naturally understood the hesitation in his heart. Chris Du Hong volunteered: "Boss, let me play!" Seeing Stan Van Gundy's puzzled eyes, Chris Du Hong took a deep breath and said cautiously: "Boss, I know that my performance just now was not very good, but I understand the current situation of the team. What the team needs most now is stability. I think I can help Wu the most. I can help him share the heavy responsibility of the organization and send him a pass in a timely manner."

Several other main players also volunteered. Looking at the expectant look in their eyes, Stan Van Gundy was immediately very heartbroken. With Wu Feng's outstanding performance, the morale of these players of the Magic team was also stimulated. The game has reached this point. Stan Van Gundy felt that no matter what the winner was, there was no regret. It could successfully stimulate the morale of those players, and the following game would be easy to play.

The team's unity of hatred made Dwight Howard feel very heartbroken. His teammates' no longer state made him feel that his teammates were complacent because they led the Heat 2:0. Fortunately, it seems that the crisis has been overcome now. On the contrary, in this way, the Magic are unprecedentedly united.

After the game started again, many people were puzzled by the players of the Magic. The Magic's substitute players performed very well just now. Although there is still something to be improved in terms of details, they are undoubtedly more trustworthy than the poor performances of several starters.

Eric Spoelstra understood a little bit. With Wu Feng's outstanding performance just now, the Magic had already overwhelmed the Heat in morale. However, Wu Feng's pass mistakes had an impact on the situation. At this critical moment, the Magic must first ensure that they do not make mistakes. At present, except Wu Feng, the only one who is most capable of doing this is Chris Du Hong.

The difference between Wu Feng and Chris Du Hong's outside line made the ball smoothly into the hands of Vince Carter on the right wing. At this time, there was no one in front of him. Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on him. This was undoubtedly the key goal. In front of the powerful Heat, Wu Feng's personal efforts were too weak after all. The reason why he had such an outstanding performance just now was that the Heat's defense was not in place was also a major reason. However, no matter where Wu Feng ran, Dwyne Wade followed him tightly. LeBron James, not far away, most of his attention was also focused on this side. Only once the ball had the intention to pass it to this side, he would decisively abandon the defending players and stepped forward to attack Wu Feng.

Only when the Magic work together can they create miracles. Such an open shot is naturally the best opportunity. In the previous game, Vince Carter made only six goals in fifteen shots, and even had several excellent shooting opportunities, which were missed by him one by one.

With just a "swish" sound, the basketball was hollowed into the net!

Vince Carter shook his arm hard, and Magic fans also gave the Magic a crazy support voice.

Looking at the Magic team that was revitalized, LeBron James was extremely admired. In such adversity, Wu Feng could use his own strength to help the team regain himself. This ability alone is one of the few in the league.

In the face of the Magic's offensive, the Heat did not lose the battle. The hard-earned lead before made the Heat players seem to find confidence in winning. In the face of the Magic's counterattack, the Heat's fighting spirit is stronger.

LeBron James quickly dribbled the ball through the half, and his back passed to Dwayne Wade. The latter quickly took a step forward, gently raised his hands, and made a mid-range shot.

The offense and defense were transferred, Chris Du Hong quickly led the ball through the half. LeBron James's several attempts to steal were cleverly avoided. At the critical moment, his stable performance was quite reassuring.
